I wasn't able to get the 8am-8:15am pick up slot, was only able to get 8:45-9am. Any chances that if I get there around 8:15ish they'll let me pick it up?
I'm gonna have a busy day that day, have to head into the office after picking up the phone and then to the airport, so every minute counts!

Annoyed that the app didn't let me in until 8:04am this morning and I couldn't get the 8am pick up slot.
 
Almost all phones are still available at my local store for pick up save a few of the 1TB versions. Looks like everyone really went for it this year.

I'm a macOS-centric person so I don't understand ordering so much storage but I imagine that there are iPhone or iPad centric people that don't have Macs.
 
As I mentioned elsewhere, the apple store app popped first at 5 past on my iPhone (iPad with beta 15 4 minutes after when I had finished order LOL, Safari on Mac was not loading store yet). It said 9/24 after I clicked the button to order, then place order and of course even with verifying card 3 days ago on pre-preapproval I had to enter my card number and the security code again. Another minute max and order was done and of course slipped to October 6-11 for my 13 ProMax 1TB graphite phone. 6 past hour and that was already slipped by two weeks? WTF? Yeah I know a first first problem but I do like my new toys and its fun to get on opening day. Now I actually hope it sticks to that date and refreshes to week before when I am gone for part of week — yeah wife will be here to get shipment but then I will have to wait 3 days til back home to setup my new toy. Yep another first world problem, I cannot wait for Christmas errrrr, m new phone LOL 😂

I see on MacRumors they caught up with delays in post where they say this:

“Apple today opened pre-orders for all four iPhone 13 models through its website and the Apple Store app, and estimated delivery times are already slipping into October for Pro models with the all-new 1TB storage option in the U.S. and select other countries.”
……………..”Update: In the time since this story was published, certain other iPhone 13 models, storage capacities, and color combinations have started facing extended delivery estimates into October. Discuss your pre-order in the MacRumors forums.”

Just received email from citizens one loan about my iUP.
Your iPhone loan has been approved. Your Citizens loan number #####

Just checked and Sierra Blue Pro Max all configs are now Oct 6-11th for delivery.

In-store is still available for launch day in my area (Chicagoland)
So it finally caught up to Silver and Graphite in terms of delivery date. I think Gold is without a doubt the most readily available.

Too everyone who said they had trouble trying to use the  card with IUP, well yeah it’s because you can’t use that as a payment for IUP!!

It’s because they offer the 24 months financing with the  card so it’s a conflict of interest with IUP because that program goes through Citizens One.
I used my Apple Card last year for IUP, did the same for this year and no issues both times. The IUP + Apple Card gives you 3% cash back as well so it's definitely intended to be used this way.

I used my Apple Card for the IUP but did not use Apple Pay. I just copied and pasted the card number into the pre pre order thing last night and it populated the card number during ordering, went through no problems, although I have not been charged yet.

Same
 
Definitely has not shipped. Lol won’t ship til Monday / Tuesday I believe
We’re definitely seeing movement this weekend though. It will be moving from different UPS distribution hub-to-hub.

It’ll be interesting to find out if it’s coming from China or Vietnam. If the new iPhone is coming from Vietnam. This will change everything as far as tracking the plane goes. As this will be the first time ever.

Let’s see what happens…
 
I was able to update my payment method to Apple Card on the Citizens One website already. New loan number was sent to me via email just a couple minutes ago. So much for the 3% back on the initial payment. womp-womp.
 
Just cancelled both of my two preorder applications.

tried for nearly 2 hours but only having the Apple Card, I kept receiving the same errors as others.

very upset and disappointed with Apple. The very people who if anything, should get priority access, instead got shafted.
That's a bummer. Do you have an Apple store near by? Maybe on launch day you could possibly do a walk in and see if you can snag one.

Weird... I used my AC for the entire order, went through fine but no pending charges yet
